So, I finally finished out my DV claim today, in small claims court.
They good news is that despite the Insurance Companies claims that DV doesn't exist. That it is some sort of mythical unicorn, or fantasy made up in my head. The Judge DID believe in DV, especially when it comes to Pcars.
The reality - out of a DV report claiming $6250 in loss, somehow the Judge felt it was only worth $1500.
So there you have it. DV does exist!
I am very proud of you! Most people give up when they realize how much time is involved, really good job sticking it out, regardless of the sum money is money in this case
Yes, first blemish. But it says "Frame Damage" so I guess I'm pretty much keepin this car forever. Of course I do have one of the last pureblood porsches.
Thanks. It's mostly just writing letters and waiting for replies, but it did take 11 months.
I thought only the defendant could appeal?
You're correct, in CA small claims the plaintiff cannot appeal the judgment (and the appeal is a "do-over", new hearing, different judge). There are some exceptions for clerical errors or major flaws in the legal basis of the decision, but generally, no. One thing that is nice about a smaller judgment is that, generally speaking, the insurer cannot appeal (unless it's over $2500).
Obviously: NOT LEGAL ADVICE
Medtech, awesome...congrats! I've been trying to prove so some of these pinheads over at M3Post that you *can* be awarded damages in Ca for DV. I think too many people listen to lawyers who give misinformation and insurance companies who obviously don't wanna pay DV.
Congrats again!!
To add to the DV posts. Someone hit my rear bumper in rush hour traffic, low speed impact (maybe 5mph) but it was a pickup truck. I asked for DV because of this post and referenced to the guy working my claim that "someone in my car club had a similar claim and was awarded $1500. To make a long story short I ended up with a DV value of "$997". Is that a sign(997)?
